IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Bette A. Harris died at 9 o'clock
Monday Aug. 20, 1887, of that dread
disease, consumption. In all her suf.
ferIngs, and such are rarely if ever
seen, she displayed that same chris.
tian fortitude that has ever been her
characteristic through life. She con.
versed with her relatives aud friends
cheerfully about death, and told them
she hoped to meet them in heaven.
The angel Of death was welcomed Joy.
fully by her, and in her last moments
she prayed for death to come quickly
and requested all tc pray for the same.
On the day of her death, not many
hours before her bright spirit winged
its flight to the celestial regions above,
she praised God in a sweet and glorious
song, and, although gasping for breath,
she brought out the glad chorus
"Halleluiah' clearly and triumph
antly. She leaves two noble sons agd
many relatives and friends to mourn
her loss, yet they mourn as they who
have no hope. Surely we can say,
Death is swallowed up in victory.
o, Death, where is thy sting7 D,
Grave, where is thy victory?" Let
me die such a death.
'HOly you were, and rood, and true,
No change can elSLd our thought, of you.
Guide me like you to live and die
And reach my Fathers house on high"

merchant of blackberry and Peach

Of 81 years, the cause Of bis death being
heart disease. The deceased Was young
man OF great promise, a good business
man and general favorite Ia the COM

Gently been married makes his untimely
end the more sad. Born and raised in

Springs and afterwards at Hack berry, in
which he succeeded well. He leaves a
widow and brother in blackberry, besides
a mother and two sisters in Canada, In
the death Of Allan Grant our county loses
one OF its best citizens. Upright and
honorable in all his dealings, his word
was as good as his bond. His many
friends join with us in extending our
sympathies to the bereaved family.

OUR MIsn.
What the yIlners or yIohave Coun.
" Have Decn DeIsg tiae Past
Week,

Our thanks are due to the owners o
the G. o. d., Cupel and Silver King
mines for handsome specimens OF the
ores OF those mines.
A carload Of c. o. b. ore was pu,
through the Sampling Works on Tuesday
and another on Wednesday.
Superintendent Mackenzie had a car.
'oad OF ore from the Cupel mine worked
his week, but the assays have rot ye,
been received from Prescott.
Mr.. X. s. Williams, mine owner and
capitalist OF Providence district, across
the Colorado, brought in six tons OF very
rich gold ore On Wednesday, and had !,
sampled, but being on his way east did
m wait for the assays, which goes 10
show that people generally have implicit
confidence in the management OF ous
samp!ing Works.
Mr.. Howell tells Us that the carload oI
lend ore from the G. o. ID. mine, worked
this week, sampled Ill ounces in silver
which is twice as much az any previous
lot Of lead ore worked from this mine
The returns from the high grade ore have
not yet been made.
The assayer OF the Sampling Works,
Prof. Middleton, has had a lay-of thi.
week, having had to devote his whole
time and attention to felon on hi.
thumb. Consequently all the assayins
has been done at Prescott this week.
Fourteen tons of rich ore was hoisted
from the keystone mine, Mineral Park,
last Saturday. We heas this morning
that the lessees have made another Iici
strike, but hare been unable as yet Ia
learn its extent.
Mr. Dennis tells us that ore is coming
in very slowly 10 the Sampling Works on
account OF scarcity of pack trains. This
should not be the case, as the mines arc
taking out more ore than ever before IN
the history oi the county and the dump:
are crowded with orc sacke1 up ready ioi
the packers. Whoever will bring Efty ci
a hundred pack animals 10 Wallapai dis
triet can get steady work for them foI
some time TO come.
